Mandatory Commercial Recycling

Attention business owners:

As of July 1, 2012, state law (Mandatory Commercial Recycling law, Chapter 476, Statutes of 2011 (Chesbro AB 341) requires all businesses (public and private entities) that generate four or more cubic yards of waste weekly and multi-family housing of five or more units to recycle. Under this new law, the affected businesses are obligated to show a good faith effort towards complying with the law’s provision. Recycling may provide opportunities for your business to save money. Recycling helps conserve resources and extends the life of California’s landfills. It also helps create a healthy environment for our community and future generations.

Although the Materials Recovery Facility (located at 3033 Fiddyment Rd. in Roseville) provides significant recycling benefit to your business by sorting commercial recyclable materials out of the waste stream offsite, you are encouraged to participate in additional recycling services offered in your community.

For additional general information about recycling and waste reduction, visit the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) at www.calrecycle.ca.gov.
